Jaipur vs Pokémon Duel
Jaipur
Jaipur is an incredibly strategic and fun, 2-player card and chips game that's based off on the buying and selling that's going on in the thriving marketplace of Jaipur back in the day. In this game, your goal is to make as much money as possible - more than your opponent, obviously - by trading goods at the market. You can play the game against an AI of a difficulty of your choosing via Solo mode or you can try your hand against a friend in its Pass and Play mode or another player online in its Online Duel mode.Interestingly, the game offers a fascinating campaign where you'll compete with other merchants across various districts in India to edge out the competition and become the sole monopoly. From time to time, you may encounter scenarios in which a local asked you for some monetary help or some bully came over to your store to demand "protection money" as well. The decisions you make may aid you, or cause you harm, as you progress through the campaign.
Despite its seemingly complicated rules, Jaipur is a really easy game to play once you go through its tutorial. It's incredibly strategic too as you may need to make drastic moves to deny your opponent a card. If you enjoy strategic card games that deal in trading in general, you'll love Jaipur.
Pokémon Duel
Pokémon Duel is one of the few mobile spin-offs that deviate rather far from the conventional Pokemon games. Featuring a strategic gameplay that's based on the popular Pokemon Trading Figure Game in Japan, you'll get to actually battle other Pokemon trainers by placing your Pokemon figures on a board. The player who managed to reach their opponent's base tile will win the game.As you might have expect of any Pokemon-themed games, you'll get to collect beautiful (but digital) Pokemon figurines from across all Pokemon generations, assemble your lineup of figurines, much like building a deck, and attempt to defeat as many Pokemon trainers as you can on your quest to become the best Pokemon trainer.
Pokemon Duel is the perfect game for players who are looking for a free-to-play Pokemon game that actually let you duel - not like the tap-fest that Pokemon Go uses. Fans of the Pokemon Trading Figure Game might find this game very entertaining as well since it's very similar to the game they love.
